Went fishing in my canoe, this is like the 10th time trying consecutively. finally found a launch to just kick off way down an arm from the main lake, it was a small little channel where bigger boats couldn't, or more likely didn't want to attempt to go down. around 6pm fish started hitting the top of the water and little fish were jumping out of the water from what i thought were bigger fish trying to eat them. i thought for sure i was going to hook into something, ANYTHING. i threw little crankbaits, bigger crankbaits, a jig for a short period, a drop shot. everything except a spinner and a topwater because i didn't have one. idk if other fish besides bass hit topwater?? maybe thats why i didnt catch anything but seriously any tips would be seriously appreciated. we were in about 14-25 feet of water. water temp was 51 degrees and there was grass on the bottom, not really thick stuff but still.

Maybe these will help:

Guaranteed To Catch Bass

I just cant catch bass

Learning to fish on your own

Try a tube or rage craw around those rocky banks.

For me when my confidence gets really low I go somewhere I know Im definitely going to catch something, or anything. Doesnt have to be a largemouth just as long as I catch something it totally turns my confidence up.

I like to throw a zara spook when they are on top like that... but as you said you didn't have any... might also try a fluke.. I like white, and watermelon seed colors..

thanks for the tips, i wish i had a spook lol, never had an opportunity to throw one until then really. but i just went to bass pro and got a bunch of new tricks. goin back out today hopefully ill get something.

wacky rig some gary's best all around bass lure in my eyes, catches just about everything but bass love it

Id get a pack of senkos small hooks and light line and fish it like the guide thread says and you really aught to get one. A senko'll produce almost always.
